Make your dough by mixing the sourdough starter, bread flour (adding a bit of flour at a time until it takes shape but is still a little sticky) and salt together. Knead the dough for 30 seconds, flour lightly as needed.

Place the wild dough in a lightly floured bowl and cover with a towel, set aside for 1 hour. (The pizza steel or stone needs to preheat for 1 hour as well, so preheat oven to 550 degrees F° after you finish making your pizza dough).

Preheat over to 420° F. Lay out bacon on a large baking pan, single file.

Bake bacon for 15 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5-10 minutes (or until cooked).

Remove bacon from oven and drain bacon on paper towel, once cooled, chop bacon.

Preheat oven to 550 degrees F° with baking steel or pizza stone inside the oven for 1 hour.

Flour surface and roll out the dough, flour lightly as needed. Put a floured pizza peel underneath the dough.
